Cardinals manager Tony La Russa doesn't like what Reds broadcaster Marty Brennaman has to say about his team. Brennaman criticized St. Louis starter Chris Carpenter and pitching coach Dave Duncan on the air Monday, a day after the Reds beat the Cardinals to complete a three-game sweep. After the game, Carpenter was unhappy with the condition of the mound and smoke that lingered in the ballpark from the customary fireworks to celebrate a Reds home run. Brennaman called Carpenter a "whiner and excuse-maker" on the air. He also referred to Duncan as "infantile." He added that the Cardinals "might be the most disliked team in baseball." Before the Cardinals' game Tuesday in St. Louis, La Russa noted that Brennaman is in the broadcasters' wing of baseball's Hall of Fame. "He earned the right to get into the Hall of Fame," La Russa said. "And now he ought to keep earning that respect instead of abusing it."
